Re: Timing Simms pump

I've never seen a Ford ag diesel engine like that. It's similar to a Ford Major engine, but the pump is backwards and is a newer style on yours.

I'm going to say the timing mark is on that tab in the first picture, at the top of the picture. If you can find a small index mark on it, that should then align with the mark on your rotating hub when the pump is ready to inject fuel on #1 cylinder. This should then correspond to a timing mark on the flywheel of anywhere between 16 and 23 degrees or so BTDC.

Thanks, that's a start...the only manual I can find is a PDF in Dutch...and I just can't type that much (PDF's won't let be copy and paste) into Google translate.

I think I located the flywheel timing area, seems it's a hole on the pump side in the bell housing area at about 4-5 Oclock...has a plate over it, so will wrangle it off and see if I can find some marks for reference.

PS...I think you're spot on, I found many reference to timing the pump at 20*'s BTDC
